Very nice looking car! I love that color and it looks really good with the rims and tint. Pictures like these are like car porn for me...I love it!!

I am up to 45 MPG now with my "pimp tires and wheels"! It seems to be getting better all the time. I have 8K miles now.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(mike_m @ Mar 22 2007, 07:11 AM) [snapback]410104[/snapback]</div> I will have to order some. It looks really good. Thanks for the reply.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(mike_m @ Sep 2 2006, 09:42 AM) [snapback]313015[/snapback]</div> mike. That's a clean machine. And nice job on the moldings. I'm in North Florida. Did you get a good deal in Orlando? I'm thinking of leaving my smallish local market and traveling down there to buy a new Prius. Seems the dealers down there do more volume and have lower prices.

The wheels are a nice touch. I knew it looked different but I couldn't put my finger on it. What kind of tyres do you have on it?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(tripp @ Apr 17 2007, 06:33 AM) [snapback]424210[/snapback]</div> The wheels are 15", same as standard, so I could use the original tyres. We have Michelin Energy 195/60/15 here in OZ. Nice tyres...good handling, wear well, reasonably quiet.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(mike_m @ Jun 2 2006, 01:42 PM) [snapback]264732[/snapback]</div> What is the percentage of the tint? That is what I want to get for mine!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Bobby @ Apr 18 2007, 12:37 AM) [snapback]424598[/snapback]</div> In Australia, 35% is the maximum legal. That is what is on the car. It is "Midnight Express" film from 3M.
Mine's a Mag Grey too. Best color imho Looks like you got some nice good dark tint, I got some technically illegal tint on mine, not limo but close, it looks really good on the Mag. BTW, you have a wonderfully manicured lawn. I'm jealous.
Re: Check out my new 06! I had good tint on my 05 prius. I cannot remember what I went with. I do recall them not tinting the little window on the back, (already tinted anyway.) However his looks extra-dark. So I assume it has been aftermarket tinted also. I suppose I would also be interested in the % too.
Re: Check out my new 06! Mine (pictured) is a 15%, and I would think his is a bit lighter, so maybe a 20-30% tint. Still plenty enough to provide privacy. One of the biggest changes I noticed after tinting my car was that I can look out the side glass and have other drivers not look back ~ dan ~ But his wheels are great!
Re: Check out my new 06! Thanks Dan, I believe I'm going to try that, but I believe I went with 30/15 last time, 15 in the front because we technically aren't allowed to tint the front windows. lol I think this time I'm going to just go for it, because I want to be able to stare people down and not get shot. haha
Re: Check out my new 06! Brad, be aware that lower numbers mean a darker window. The percent rating is the approximate average percent of white light that passes through the film, so 5% is limousine tint, 15% is what I have, and 50% in front is what you can realistically get away with here in California without being pulled over. I don't know if IL has more or less anal cops. ~ dan ~
